I like

I figured, since I have a list of I don'ts, why not have a list of things I like. As Bobby Brown, the king of R&B, said, "It's my prerogative."

1. I like chocolate. No need to elaborate.

2. I like intelligence. Actually, I love it. It's the biggest turn on. There's nothing sexier than talking with someone and he can speak on matters that are going on today, that are relevant and has knowledge of the most random things, like the study of mollusks.

3. I like funny. I love to laugh. Don't give me a box of candy, Godiva, or flowers, red, pink or burgundy carnations. Just make me laugh so hard that I cry.

4. I like watching the Food Network and the new Cooking Channel. There's just something about food, in whatever capacity, that evokes a certain feeling, emotion or memory. I can eat.

5. I like to be adventurous, where it counts. I like to explore, go off the beaten path once in a while. I've been planning my dream trip, a drive to San Francisco for the weekend, where I'd explore the city and the food, go to it's Chinatown and sample all kinds of Dim Sum, for example.

6. I like honesty. It's a difficult trait to have and I admire those that can pull it off.

7. I like me. Plain and simple, warts and all. I like how, with age, I'm developing, like a good wine. Cheesy though it may be, but I'm starting to understand what I've heard women older than me say. Being in my 30's is considerably better and easier than being in my 20's ever was. I'm starting to come into my own, gaining a greater sense of self and not really giving a shit about what other's think, to a certain point. lol.

8. I like the idea of romance. It never gets old. I was reading Musco's blog and he's quite romantic. The girl he's with is quite lucky. Can't wait for my own "loml" to come into the picture.

9. I like my family. In fact, I love my family, my mom, my sister, my two brothers and my son. We've been through so much and the things we've overcome has strengthened our bond.

10. Most importantly, I like my Father. I love my Father, the Lord Almighty. He has seen me through some of the toughest things any human has had to face and He continues to guide me and helps me grow.

I'm getting married. That's right! I'm engaged. The interesting thing is that I've been wanting this for a long time but now that it's here, I don't know what to do. If left to me, I would go to the courthouse and get married but the the thing is that there are other people involved, namely my family. So now, that leaves us with planning a wedding and deciding who will be in it. I'm not really there yet so I'll leave that for now. What's on my mind is, I'm not the young bride to be anymore. I'm forty years old, soon to be forty-one, and as excited as I am to begin this new phase of my life, I'm not that excited about the whole planning process. I've been seeing lots of pictures on Instagram and videos on Youtube of lovely weddings but they're all of young people and nothing starring people mine and my fiance's ages. And another thing is we want to take our time with the planning process and not feel rushed but peop…

It's been a year. Almost. Tomorrow will be a year since I've written anything on this blog. YIKES!!!!! I don't know what prompted this return but it just popped into my head. I first wanted to know if it was still even active, yes it is. A lot's happened in a year. I'm in love. YUP! I found my soulmate, he found me, we found each other. We're happy. I'm happy. Seriously happy. There's so much to catch up you up on but for now, it's just good to be back and hopefully I don't disappear again. Ciao!

I haven't stopped writing. I may not be writing here but I'm constantly composing in my head. So many thoughts run through my mind on a daily basis.

What I most appreciate about this blog is that it's given my the gift of self-awareness. It's allowed me to open myself up, examine who I am and see me for who I really am.

I have my moments where I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet and the worst person on the planet. I make no apologies, I am who I am.

I've seen a lot in my life and have documented a fair share of it but the thing is there is so much more to see and so my writing can't stop.

This was a thought in my head that I had to get down.

I miss this place. I miss my friends from this place. This was like Wonderland, going down the rabbit hole and encountering some of the most amazing characters I'd ever had the pleasure and privilege to meet. I love them still and I miss them deeply.
